NDC Japan Mourn Mills

From Vivianna Mensah, Sunyani

The National Democratic Congress Branch of Japan has sent their condolences to the wife of the late President, Dr. Mrs. Ernestina Naadu Mills, family and the people of Ghana.

In an interview with the NDC Japan Chairman, George Adoo via Skype from his residence in Japan, he expressed his shock over the death of the President and called on Ghanaians to come together and mourn the noble man who has left an indelible mark in the history of Ghana.

According to him, they went to the Ghana Embassy in Japan on Tuesday on the eve of the one week funeral celebration to present flowers to the ambassador and also sign the book of condolence and afterwards had a meeting with the ambassador on their plans towards the funeral.

Mr. Addo said the Embassy has made adequate plans to bring together all Ghanaians in Japan to organise a memorial service in Tokyo to celebrate the former president.

The NDC Japan Chairman noted that the Ambassador for Japan, Dr. Brandful has sent letters to them to prepare for the memorial service and to invite important personalities to celebrate the former president.

He also disclosed that the Japan NDC has two members in Ghana that will help in laying the former President to rest since all of them cannot come because of the short notice for the funeral.

Mr. Addo on behalf of the NDC Japan congratulated the new President, John Mahama and urged him to continue the good work his former boss started.

 He called on Ghanaians to respect each other’s views and remember they are all one people no matter the political background so as to have a peaceful burial for the former President.
